Each Johnson & Johnson company offers different housing options. Ask our recruiters about housing when you meet them at a campus information session or if you participate in an interview.

Assignment in these roles can vary across our companies and even among departments within the same company. Typically, internship or co-op assignments may include collecting critical data, analyzing information or research, completing projects, or creating new projects.

Co-op students will often have an opportunity to take a project from creation through implementation. Interns, because of the short-term nature of their assignments, may work on a more limited part of a full project. We’ll also provide a number of programmed activities that offer a broader perspective on our leadership principles, values, and longer-term business challenges.

We see successful internship and co-op employees as a valuable resource in our search for future leaders across our companies.

Recruiters and hiring managers within our companies expect many of the same things from internship and co-op employees as we do from full-time employees. We look for individuals who understand and align with our values and leadership principles.

We see successful internship and co-op employees as a valuable resource in our search for future leaders across our companies.

Individual university policy will determine if students get course credit for an internship or co-op assignment within our companies.

Some schools have formal co-operative education programs in which students submit reports at the end of an assignment in order to qualify for credit. Other schools with less formal programs may review student requests for course credit on an individual basis.

Please check with your campus career services office or your academic advisor to determine your options.

Johnson & Johnson shares personal information of candidates with its affiliates that are involved in evaluating candidates for available positions. Johnson & Johnson will remain responsible for personal information that is transferred and used by each entity. You can consult the list and location of our affiliates here: https://www.investor.jnj.com/financials/sec-filings/default.aspx

We will limit access to such personal information to personnel that need to know the information for the purposes described in this Policy, including personnel in the recruiting, human resources, and information technology departments, in the department responsible for the position for which you are applying, or which may be of interest to you, or otherwise involved in the recruiting process. Johnson & Johnson also shares personal information with approved third-party service providers to facilitate the services they provide to us, including hosting and operating the Careers Sites, recruiting assistance, and background check processing.

Disclosing your personal information to us can include transferring your personal information to other countries, including to the United States or any other country in which we or our service providers have operations. For transfers to other countries, we have put in place adequate measures to protect your information.

We also use and disclose your personal information as necessary or appropriate, especially when we have a legal obligation or legitimate interest to do so:

To comply with applicable law.
This can include laws outside your country of residence.
To respond to requests from public and government authorities.
These can include authorities outside your country of residence.
To cooperate with law enforcement.
For example, when we receive law enforcement requests and orders.
For other legal reasons.
To enforce our terms and conditions.
To respond to subpoenas or other judicial orders from competent courts of law; and
To protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you or others.
In connection with a sale or business transaction.
We have a legitimate interest in disclosing or transferring your personal information to a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).

We will retain personal information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy. The criteria used to determine our retention periods may include one or more of the following: (a) as long as we have an ongoing relationship with you; (b) as required by a legal obligation to which we are subject; and (c) as advisable in light of our legal position (such as with respect to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, audits, or regulatory investigations). We also follow our Johnson & Johnson’s Enterprise Retention Schedule, which provides for compliance with laws and regulations across the globe, while meeting local and country specific requirements.

We may remove personal information for inactive accounts from our database, subject to any applicable legal or regulatory obligations. Furthermore, Johnson & Johnson can delete personal information about you (including your CV/résumé) from our database at any time and without providing any reason. Therefore, please retain your own copy of the personal information provided to us.

For certain roles, we use automated tools to assist us in processing and evaluating job applications. These tools leverage complex algorithms and machine-learning technology to assist with the following operations.

These tools compare the information collected in connection with your application with the specific requirements and qualifications of the target role(s) in order to flag any missing qualifications and assign a ranking to your application. These rankings are then used to prioritize the review of applications and are visible to members of the recruiting team as one of several factors to consider in making decisions about whether to advance a candidate in the recruitment process.

Minimum requirements: We use automated tools to determine whether, based on the information you have provided to us, you meet the minimum requirements for a position. For example, if the job requires three years of experience as a software developer, these tools will analyze the selections you make in forms you submit through the Careers Sites and/or the words and textual patterns collected in connection with your application to determine whether this type of experience is present or not. In some cases, these automated tools may lead to the rejection of your application without any additional review by a member of our recruitment team.
Job match ranking: We use automated tools to assign a percentage value to your application that assesses how strong the fit is between your application and the requirements of the target role. Our tools may rely on several factors in assigning these percentages, which may vary per job. For example, for certain jobs specific practical experience may be of more relevance than certifications, for others it may be the other way around. Based on the analysis, our automated tools can provide a Johnson & Johnson recruiting employee with an overview of candidates that are potentially qualified for the relevant position. The Johnson & Johnson employee will then assess these recommendations and, based on our standard processes, move the candidate forward in the recruitment process.
